It's 100% intentional so they can save money and bandwidth on those technologically inept who never change this

You can set the default resolution in pipepipe and it would never change to auto.

I definitely don't understand how it picks the quality level sometimes. This happens to me sometimes.

Best part is I watch 720p.

Still need to change it manually from auto 1080 to 720, because it still looks better. Fucks sake. xD

Yes that's what auto means. The info is telling you that it's loading 1080p currently. If you want it to flush the buffer and always play 1080p then you need to select 1080p or set up your player to do it automatically.
